Nigerian forward Gift Orban has completed a transfer to Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim in a deal worth €9 million plus €3 million add-ons.
The 22-year-old striker joins the German club after a challenging spell at Olympique, where he struggled for regular game time. 
Orban, who moved to Lyon from Belgian club Gent, managed to score five goals in 21 appearances but had not featured in the French league since September.
However, the striker is yet to give more detail concerning that. But in spite of his limited playing time, Hoffenheim sees Orban as a valuable addition to strengthen their attacking options.
Hoffenheim’s sporting director, Andreas Schicker, expressed confidence in Orban’s abilities, stating,
“In Gift Orban, we have found exactly the fast striker that we were looking for. We are convinced that his skills will give our team greater variety in attack.”
The transfer represents a fresh start for the footballer Gift Orban, who has shown glimpses of his talent in previous seasons.
The Nigerian forward’s move is seen as a strategic decision to revive his career and showcase his potential in the highly competitive Bundesliga.
Meanwhile, Lyon bid farewell to the player with a positive note, saying,We wish Gift well in his new adventure,” he said.
This transfer marks a significant milestone in Orban’s career and serves as inspiration for aspiring footballers.
It highlights the importance of perseverance, consistency, and hard work in achieving success at the highest level.
As Orban prepares for his Bundesliga debut, expectations are high for him to make an immediate impact and solidify his position in Hoffenheim’s attack.
However, Hoffenheim fans are hopeful that Orban’s speed and goal-scoring instinct will boost the club’s offensive play.
Moreover, his move to Germany is expected to increase his visibility and possibly attract attention from Nigeria’s national team selectors for future international tournaments.
